Regeneration: Contemporary Chinese Art from China and the US
Curated by Dan Mills and Xiaoze Xie
Exhibition organized by Samek Art Gallery, Bucknell University

Regeneration: Contemporary Chinese Art from China and the US includes some of the most exciting contemporary Chinese art being made today. Regeneration focuses on the work of twenty-six artists who reside in China or who received their training and started their careers in China but reside in the U.S. While work in this large survey is conceptually and materially diverse and wide-ranging, the artists share some thematic concerns.
Decades of isolationism and cultural restrictions that greatly limited the production and exhibition of art gave way to a period of remarkable and fast-paced development after the death of Mao Zedong in 1976. Artists began to explore subjects and media that were not associated with communist ideologies and the style of socialist realism. With this recent “opening up” of a nation with over twenty percent of the world’s population, this new work and these artists that are unfamiliar to the rest of the world have become of increasing interest internationally. Some employ or appropriate traditional Chinese art forms in new ways while others investigate the significant recent social and cultural transformations occurring in China. All of the work represents the vital and rapid regeneration of contemporary life and culture in China.
Regeneration includes: Ai Weiwei, Cai Jin, Chen Lingyang, Chen Shaoxiong, Wenda Gu, Hai Bo, Hong Hao, Hong Lei, Hu Jieming, Yun-Fei Ji, Li Yongbin, Liang Juhui, Lin Tianmiao, Liu Wei, Liu Xiadong, Qiu Zhijie, Xiaoze Xie, Xu Bing, Xu Zhen, Yu Hong, Zhang Dali, Zhang Huan, Zhang Xiaogang, Zhang Yajie, Zhao Liang, and Zhou Xiaohu.
